I heard this story about a fish, he swims up to this older fish and says, "i'm trying to find this thing they call the ocean."
"the ocean?" says the older fish.
"that's what you're in right now."
"this?" says the young fish, "this is water."
"what i want is the ocean."
"see u"
This is my all-time favorite passage.

At the end of 2020 , it is an honor to meet a movie like SOUL .

[Serious warning for spoilers below]

In the film, No. 22 couldn't light up the last spark, and felt that he could not find his purpose. Even countless people who admired him couldn't light the spark of TA, so he wandered for thousands of years. Until the accidental return to the world.

Here I have to mention our male protagonist, black + jazz + nothing, Joe, at the highest point of his life, he died because he fell into the sewer, so in the memories of Joe in this life, he was full of rejection And denial, even as a school music instructor, is not recognized by students. Therefore, he who passed away at the highest point could not accept this reality, he used all his strength to escape from the supernatural, and wanted to return to the world. The reason is just wanting to play this invaluable quartet. He said, "It's just i've been waiting on this day for my entire life. I thought i'd feel different." In exchange for the opportunity to play in front of everyone in a lifetime, this is what he thinks is the coolest and most worthwhile thing in life. matter.

In the process, No. 22 tasted the taste of food, human affection, home, friends, and air. TA felt that he no longer hated being a person, because of that PIZZA, because of half A piece of bread, a lollipop, and the love of Joe's mother, so TA found the meaning of living in the world, in our Chinese old saying, it is the fireworks of the world. The plot begins to reach its climax. For Joe, this is something that he has been encountering in his past life, so these are extremely ordinary. Who is not immersed in the fireworks of the world, it is just that we are busy with life and can't. It's just experience and discovery, and this can't be a spark in Joe's opinion. Starting here, No. 22 fell into self-doubt and denial that he had never seen before. NO PURPOSE became the biggest heart disease of 22. The scene here is a must, for Pixar Salute, the pursuit of Joe and 22, entering the stream of consciousness of 22, seeing the negation brought by myself and other souls, the support of a large number of dark scenes, making 22 a lonely individual, NO PURPOSE, how to prepare to enter that world to live Woolen cloth? Until the appearance of the fallen leaves, the theme of the film was brought to a high point. Maybe life is just for the morning light, the summer rain and the autumn wind.

It's just that we are all too busy to stop to watch the maple leaves fluttering. Perhaps, we should find a time to stop and feel the purpose of our life.

Soul quotes

  • Joe: You ready?

    22: Huh?

    Joe: To come live.

    22: ...I'm scared, Joe. I'm not good enough. And anyway, I... I never got my spark.

    Joe: Yes, you did. Your spark isn't your purpose. That last box fills in when you're ready to come live. And the thing is, you're pretty great at jazzing.

  • 22: [in Joe's body] Like my mentor George Orwell used to say, State sponsored education is like the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket.
